Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. Su Ping doesn't think of himself as a gentleman, but he is not a fool either.

This was obviously problematic. If he agreed to it, he would be tied to a pirate ship from then on, unable to wash off the stain, and might even be coerced by the other party. Su Ping would not allow himself to be exposed to such uncertain dangers.

"Mr. Chen, if you don't explain clearly, how can I know what you mean? Besides, your meaning is really not interesting enough. If I am interested, I will definitely not be interested in the future, so your meaning should not be interesting at all!"

Su Ping finished talking in a roundabout way, like a tongue twister, and then stopped talking. Whether the other party understood him or not, the meaning should be made clear anyway, he would not help.

As expected, after Su Ping finished speaking, Chen Baiwang's expression froze, but he still suppressed his smile.

"How can it be boring? Little prodigy, I may not quite understand what you mean!"

"Have you ever heard of the term 'closing the door to visitors'?" Su Ping said this without turning back.

Chen Baiwang opened his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of viciousness that others would never notice, but he said without changing his expression, "I've heard of it."

"That's what I mean!" Su Ping took the washed vegetables out of the basin, poured out the washing water, and then filled the basin with more vegetables.

The moment Su Ping finished speaking, the two people behind Chen Baiwang clenched their fists slightly. If they received the order, they would probably step forward without hesitation and beat the boy up.

Su Ping was of course aware of the gradual change in the atmosphere, but he was not afraid at all. He turned around, faced the few people, picked up the kitchen knife, and started cutting vegetables.

Each piece was cut evenly, the knife was cut cleanly and neatly, and the knife was put away without any ambiguity. The only sound left in the silent scene was the sound of the knife cutting the vegetables and then hitting the chopping board.

It's very regular and can relieve stress. But looking at the way both of them look, it doesn't look like the stress has been relieved. Instead, it seems that the stress is getting greater?

Finally, it was Chen Baiwang who spoke up, breaking the exhausting silence, and said slowly: "The little prodigy's knife skills are pretty good, can he cut anything like this?"

"Not necessarily. Different ingredients require different cutting techniques and strengths. Sometimes you have to sharpen and change knives, which is very troublesome."

After Su Ping finished cutting all the vegetables, he put them back into the original basin, raised his head and smiled, "Just like when you chop big bones, you have to use a special machete to chop them, otherwise your hands will be very tired, and the result will not look good!"

Chen Baiwang nodded nonchalantly, then looked at the bowl of vegetables and thought: "This bowl seems to have existed when your grandfather was alive, right?"

"Then Mr. Chen is wrong. This was just bought not long ago. Most of the things passed down from my grandfather's generation are broken, so I can only replace them with new ones. Anyway, it's not the same as before, so it's time to replace it!" Su Ping waved his hand and casually placed the kitchen knife flat on the chopping board.

"That's right. My eyes are blurry and I didn't see it clearly. I'm also old and my memory is not very good. I forgot that the little prodigy is no longer the same as before. He is also a wealthy family in the village!"

"No, no, it's far from what Old Chen has. At best, it's just a little more, not much at all!"

"Why be so modest? Well, never mind. It's my fault for bothering you for so long. I'll take my leave now."

"Walk slowly. There are often rocks on the village roads. Don't fall!" Su Ping kindly advised. However, he didn't say another sentence, "so as not to fall and get up" hidden in his heart.

Chen Baiwang, this shrewd old man, perhaps felt that there was something else behind his words, so before leaving, he mentioned his friendship with Su Ping in the previous generation.

"Come to think of it, I met Ying a few times in her early years. Your features are somewhat similar to hers, very cute, haha..." Chen Baiwang smiled, then turned and left.

Su Ping was stunned on the spot. After a moment's reflection, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said, so he cursed silently. Then, feeling unsatisfied, he walked out of the shed, spat on the ground indignantly, and covered his mouth with dirt before he stopped.

However, he recovered a little and came to see if Aunt Zhang needed any help. However, she was a little stunned. Su Ping was not like this usually. What happened today?

Thinking that she couldn't let this child go astray, Aunt Zhang asked in confusion, "Xiaoping, what happened to you just now? Why are you so angry?"

Su Ping sighed and said quietly, "Chen Baiwang came just now and said some... dirty words!"

"That old guy, ugh!" Aunt Zhang heard that the last name was Chen, and she seemed to be holding back her anger. She didn't say anything nice right away, "That Chen Baiwang, in fact, he spent the first half of his life just flattering people!"

"If he hadn't found a rich relative in Liyue Harbor a few years ago, he would be... who the hell is he!"

Su Ping listened to the words that Aunt Zhang was about to say but changed in time. He smiled at first, then thought about the matter of marrying into a wealthy relative, and his heart moved.

"Aunt Zhang, do you know what his relative's last name is?"

"I'm not sure about that. You know what kind of person Chen is. He won't let anyone know anything about it. Just like the fact that his son didn't succeed in getting married to a young girl this time, the news hasn't spread in the village yet!"

"Oh." Su Ping nodded slightly. He was about to invite Aunt Zhang to his house for dinner, but his mind was blocked by another matter. He felt that he had to ask.

After struggling for a moment, Su Ping fiddled with his fingers behind his back and asked weakly, "Aunt Zhang, Chen Baiwang just said that he and my mother had met a long time ago..."

"What! How dare he say that, this shameless old guy!" Aunt Zhang was not very angry at first, and her anger gradually subsided after she said a few words. But at this moment, she was like a newly loaded barrel of explosives, which would explode at the slightest touch.

Su Ping felt depressed when he saw Aunt Zhang's reaction. He thought to himself, maybe Chen Baiwang was too shameless and used some tricks...

Before he could think about it, Aunt Zhang grumbled, "We had agreed that after Xiaoying married Su, he would not be allowed to mention his intention to buy someone with money. Now he dares to bring it up with you!"

"He was so dishonest that no one buried him after his death. It's his son's fault that he is a hopeless case of dirt and stinking manure! It turns out that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked! Damn him..."

Aunt Zhang hardly took a breath the whole time. She cursed for almost a whole cup of tea. Only then did she seem to have released all her anger and was catching her breath.

Su Ping had not expected that his question would lead to such a shocking secret. At the same time, his impression of the man surnamed Chen was further lowered.

Of course, I also thought, fortunately my father was decisive enough at that time, fortunately my grandparents chose my father, fortunately my mother was not blind, fortunately, everything is fortunate.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly helped Aunt Zhang to sit down at the table, then helped his father out of the house, letting the elders chat while he went to cook.

Su Yue had heard most of what had just happened in the room. The reason why he did not come out to stop it was, firstly, he was now mostly disabled, and secondly, he believed in his son.

Aunt Zhang patted her chest, looked at the man sitting there, and comforted him, "Su boy, don't be too sad. In the end, you still married Ying girl, and you also had such a big fat boy!"

"I know, I didn't think of anything else." Su Yue narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Really."

"It's good if it's true, but don't be Aunt Kuang."

"How dare I..."

……

Time passes and it is impossible for people to stop.

No matter how long the vacation is, there is always a time to go back to work after a break, just like Su Ping has been resting since the Moon Festival until now, it has been nearly ten days, and he is only ready to go back to set up the stall.

After resting for a long time, the young man set out on the road back to the snack street, but he never expected that he would be stopped again when he just reached the village entrance.

The other party was a staff member from the General Affairs Department. He was holding a land deed and several related documents, as if waiting for him to sign.

In fact, they were not waiting here intentionally, but the document happened to be drafted, so they rushed over after getting it and happened to meet them, so they signed directly at the entrance of the village.

"According to the inheritance law of the people of Liyue, the title deed that Jiang Youyi owned during his lifetime, as well as everything on the land to which the title deed belongs, will be transferred to your name."

"There are three more, one for the murderer to compensate the family for mental damage, funeral expenses, and lost wages, and the other for the factory's legal representative Chen Baiwang to pay for worker injury insurance compensation."

The staff member who Su Ping did not recognize went on to explain: "You can take the deed now. As for the other four contracts, they can only be given to you after all parties sign them."

"Both parties hold a copy of each contract. Please rest assured that we will complete the work within three working days."

Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, and uttered two words from his dry throat, "Thank you."

"No need. This is the work rule of the General Affairs Department and it is our responsibility. Also, please accept my condolences." The staff member said in a low voice.

Su Ping was silent and speechless, because he had no sorrow in his heart, which was a little regretful. However, he could not figure out whether this inexplicable regret was because of that person or because of himself.

No matter what it was, the boy's state of mind was destined to never be calm again. He signed his name hastily and rushed to Liyue Harbor, using the excuse of work to imprison his mind.

The General Affairs Department staff member did not stop either, and rushed to the next destination without wasting a moment.

As for those who are still there, they should only be those aunties who like to watch the fun and gossip.

"Oh, this little prodigy is really lucky. He got a house for free and so much money!"

"If I had known that the girl's parents would die young and she wouldn't live long enough to suffer this, I would have let my grandson talk to her!"

"you do not say……"

The death of one person may bring sorrow to his family, an unknown flaw to someone, or a long sigh from a kind-hearted person, but at most... it would probably be something like "In vain...if I had known it earlier."
